[Verse]
Ab
In comparison to Paris
Fm
You lie like the city of lights and
Db
You fight like my parents
Eb Ab
About who and what and when

Ab
And you barely even shared it
Fm
Goodnight to the pretty old sky
Db
And goodnight to the terrace
Eb Ab
Where we knew what we had been

[Bridge]
Ab
And your mind is just like theirs is
Fm Db
To die, what a pity to die without getting to cherish
Eb Ab
All the things you left behind

Ab
And I know you know what fair is
Fm Db
So why do you sit there and cry like you might have to bear this,
Eb Ab
Like you’d even have to try?

[Chorus]
Ab Cm Fm Eb Ab
I know for a fact I’m on your mind, like all the time
Ab Cm Fm Eb Ab
And when you get back to being fine, then I’m your guy

[Verse]
Ab
In the valley there’s a river
Fm
That moves like a snake, how it glides and it slithers
Db Eb Ab
Away in a way that makes it seem to only grow bigger

Ab
There’s a boat upon this river
Fm Db
That came from the lake and she’s headed away for the winter
Eb Ab
And freezing and I’d be most pleased to go with her

[Bridge]
Ab Fm Db Eb Ab
But it seems like I am stuck on you and you are stuck on me
Ab Fm Db Eb Ab
I don’t know what to do ’cause you did this to me

[Verse]
Ab
Oh, in comparison to Paris
Fm
You lie like the city of lights and
Db
You fight like my parents
Eb Ab
About who and what and when

Ab
And you barely even shared it
Fm
Goodnight to the pretty old sky
Db
And goodnight to the terrace
Eb Ab
Where we knew what we had been

[Chorus]
Ab Cm Fm Eb Ab
I know for a fact I’m on your mind, like all the time,
Ab Cm Fm Eb Ab
And when you get back to being fine then I’m your guy
